Why Design Theory
Without theoretical basis, without vision, without philosophy
and without ethic:
There is no design !
There is only technology or business !

the practice : For improvement of our products, our
communication, our environment and our framework of life.

Aesthetic
mercredi, 7 mars 2012
Aesthetic
Aesthetics is broader in scope than the philosophy of art,
which is one of its branches.
It deals not only with the nature and value of the arts but also
with those responses to natural objects that find expression
in the language of the beautiful and the ugly.

Functionalism & Formalism
We shall be able to interpret formalism as an application of a
repertoire of forms to different products or objects.
Functionalism, in art and architecture, is an aesthetic
doctrine developed in the early 20th cent. out of Louis Henry
Sullivan's aphorism that form ever follows function.

Philosophy
mercredi, 7 mars 2012
Perception
Why do some "beautiful" objects quickly lose their appeal,
while others seem to have a more lasting allure? Do lasting
truths guide our perception of what is beautiful?
Mankind has been fascinated by the notion of beauty
since before recorded history.

Golden Section
mercredi, 7 mars 2012
Golden Section
We now recognize that mathematical proportions and
systems drive nature at all levels.
The Golden Mean or Golden Section is a ratio that is
present in the growth patterns of many things; the spiral
formed by a shell or the curve of a fern, for example.
Both the ancient Greeks and the ancient Egyptians used the
Golden Mean when designing their buildings and
monuments.

When we have look at an object, when we evaluate and
appreciate it, the relation which established between the
object and us is an exchange of information.
Stimuli, factors of attraction and weariness, semantic and
aesthetic messages, sociocultural archetypes, boring
banality and incomprehensible originality, degree of

Semiotic, Semiology

Term "semiology" (from Greek semeion "sign", and logoes "
speech, knowledge ") was proposed by Ferdinand de
Saussure (Courts of general linguistics), and the discipline
that it indicates defines as studying " the life of signs within
the social life ".

signification.

Philosophy
First of all it is necessary to define the specific aspects of
design and the object of knowledge.
Today, disciplinary tendencies of design tend to define all
relations "individual object - milieu" as the subject of the
design.

The Specificity of Design
mercredi, 7 mars 2012
The Specificity of Design
The alternative is to know if there is, yes or no, in the Product
Architecture an object of specific knowledge.
The word Design is it adapted, maybe this word is it too
wide and not well define ?
Is Design: Specific discipline, Inter discipline or Super
Discipline ?
